Being sick makes you do some cRaZy things!

Sickness does not agree with me...I hate being sick, then again, I rarely know anyone who likes to be sick. It is so time-consuming and energy-draining that I realized that I have watched so much tv in the last week that would equal all of the shows I've watched in the last six months! (thank goodness for satellite tv!) But I realize this madness has to stop. I am losing my mind. Doesn't help that when I started to feel better, round 2 came with vengeance and knocked me out for 3 more days...what bugs me more is that it doesn't let me rest for those 3 days but keeps me up coughing...if you were my neighbor, you'd hate me by now. :( yeah, i'd hate me too.

As it happens, my sis-in-law and her friend spent today doing their annual holiday bake-a-thon. Their prep work started last week with all the different cookie doughs. The baking started early this morning and at this time, they are still wrapping all their hard work. At last count, there were seven different kind of cookies and 955 cookies in total! That is, there are 955 "perfect" cookies, not counting one batch that didn't meet their standards and the "broken" ones that ended up in tummies. I couldn't help it, I know i would feel worse afterwards...lack of willpower....I blame it on being sick! heehee...oh well, yummy!


And the last thing I did today to motivate me to get better and to burn off those cookies, I finally did sign up for the Vancouver Marathon (HALF!!!)....138 days to go it says...let's see how many of those days I really train, then again, I can always end up walking it :)
